For a richer flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher. If you don't have crème fraîche, you can substitute it with sour cream, but be aware that it will have a slightly tangier flavor. Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness. Make sure your ice cream maker is properly chilled before adding the mixture for best results. If you want to add some texture to the ice cream, consider stirring in some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or candied orange peel during the last few minutes of churning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a high-speed blender, combine the chopped chocolate and milk. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, ensuring no chocolate pieces remain. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
02
StepAdd the crème fraîche, sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend again until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is homogenous. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)
03
StepPour the blended mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency. (Approximately 20-30 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Gently press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystal formation. Seal the container.
05
StepFor optimal flavor and texture, allow the ice cream to ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
